SUBJECT: Consider Status Report on Land and Water Conservation Fund Grant
for the Recreational Trail System at Arroyo Vista Community Park
BACKGROUND
On January 15, 2014, the City Council approved Resolution No. 2014-3266, authorizing
the submittal of a Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF) grant to the California
State Parks, Office of Grants and Loans (OGALS) for the Recreational Trail System at
Arroyo Vista Community Park (AVCP). The grant was submitted by the grant due date
of February 3, 2014, and staff was notified in September that the National Park Service
(NPS) had recommended the project for funding.
DISCUSSION
OGALS awarded the grant for the Recreational Trail System at AVCP in the amount of
$500,000 in September 2014. There are several actions required of the City as a
condition of the grant. They are:
• Execute Grant Agreement: The Agreement was executed by OGALS on
January 27, 2015.
• Deed Restriction: The grant requires that a Deed Restriction be recorded
against the park property requiring the park to become dedicated parkland
in perpetuity. Any change of use of the park to anything other than a park
will be subject to review by OGALS and, if approved, would require
reimbursement of the grant funds and other penalties. Authorization to
enter into the Deed Restriction was included in Resolution 2014-3266
approved on January 15, 2014. The Deed Restriction is prepared and
ready to be recorded.

• Project Status Reports (PSR): Staff will be required to submit PSR's every
six months during the Grant Performance Period.
• Complete project within Grant Performance Period: The project needs to
be completed prior to June 30, 2017.
Once the grant documentation is completed, staff will prepare the bid documents and
return to the City Council by May for authorization to go out to bid.
FISCAL IMPACT
Staff has estimated that the cost to complete the project is approximately $1,666,000.
Currently, approximately $1,525,000 for the project is budgeted in the Traffic System
Management Fund (2001), $66,000 has been secured as a grant from the TDA Article 3
Fund (2602) and $75,000 has been appropriated from the General Fund (1000) for the
ADA improvements at the softball fields. Of this cost, $92,500 has been used for Civil
Engineering Services. The LWCF grant is a reimbursement grant and will be used to
reimburse the Traffic System Management Fund. The maximum grant reimbursement
request is fifty-percent (50%) of the total project costs, with the City providing a 50%
match. The $500,000 grant is about 31% of the projected project costs. Staff proposes
to return to the City Council to re-evaluate the funding sources for this project once bids
are received for the construction work.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Receive and file report.
